It is verified by RAL gGmbH and awarded on the basis of criteria, developed by the Federal Environment Agency and the Independent Environmental Label Jury.

More information?

Good for me. Good for the environment. The Blue Angel is the German Government’s label for environmentally friendly products and services. As the first environmental label worldwide, it has stood for independence and credibility for over 35 years. It is an eco-label you can trust.

…because made from 100% waste paper

Four office workers can save a tree each year by consistently opting for recycled paper. This helps a great deal, by protecting forests and, therefore, the climate.

SAVING RESOURCES

The Blue Angel sums it up

Dr. Barbara Hendricks, Federal Environment Minister

„Send out a message in the interests of health and the environment and look out for the Blue Angel when shopping. Join us in shaping the future!“

…because rapidly biodegradable

Lubricants and hydraulic fluids with the Blue Angel are readily biodegradable and

have a reduced impact on the aquatic environment and the soil use.

WATER-SAVING

...because energy-efficient and electricity-saving

Household appliances and office equipment with the Blue Angel can result in total energy savings of nearly 50%. In view of rising prices for electricity, this is also a good way to save money.

CLIMATE-FRIENDLY

…because low in pollutant content and emissions

Paints, varnishes and furniture may contain chem-icals such as solvents, plasticizers and preserva-tives. The Blue Angel ensures that substances of concern are not used or their use is reduced as far as possible.
